Hey, all! Happy Saturday! It makes me feel great that you are (if you are) reading my blog on a Saturday. It also makes me a little sad. What’s the matter with you? Don’t you have a life? (more…) Read more

I recently received an email from one F. Stuart “Skip” Leeds, a physician and faculty member at the University of Cincinnati, who lives in Yellow Springs, OH. Dr. Leeds wrote: (more…) Read more

Mother’s Day is coming up right quick here. Yay! I guess. I don’t know. I do know that about this time of year I find myself feeling for all those whom the good Lord saw fit to birth unto a woman no more suited for motherhood than June Cleaver was suited for professional mud wrestling. All around them others are waxing rhapsodic about their loving, tender, wise, resourceful, self-sacrificing Exemplary Mother, while they’re stuck remembering how their loser witch of... Read more
I feel that we Christians too often fail in these ten ways: 1. Too much money. “Wealthy Christian” should be an oxymoron.

The split-second before I very suddenly became a Christian I couldn’t have been less of a Christian if I had red horns, hoofs, and a long pointy tail. If anything, I was anti-Christian. The religion struck me as ridiculously immature, a way-too-obvious system designed mostly to capitalize on people’s guilt: Big Daddy in the Sky knows you did wrong, but will love you anyway if you’ll only admit that he’s perfection itself, and that you’re a wretched, sickening sack of...
